From the beginning of our stay to our very early departure to the airport, Auntie Mong (and her adorable dog, Poon who made us laugh each day) truly made my family of four feel like we are a part of hers too. Auntie Mong personally welcomed us and shared her maps of highlights in Bangkok and gave us a crash course on how to get around Bangkok even though she herself was tired, just arriving from a trip. Throughout our stay, she also kept providing really great homemade breakfast each and every morning and even packed us some breakfast when we left her place at 6 AM. Everyday, she'd also ask us what we were planning to do each day and gave recommendations of her favorite local places as well, complete with handwritten notes in Thai and English on how to get there for taxi or tuk-tuk drivers as well as an idea of how much it should cost to get there. We were never cheated by taxi drivers because of the knowledge Auntie Mong shared with us!
The accommodation itself is clean and incredibly cozy. Her garden is a beautiful escape from Bangkok's hustle and bustle. The rooms also included very personal touches such as old typewriters and photos, which made us feel like we were friends or family staying in her guest room. Its location is also highly strategic, surrounded by loads of street food and within walking distance of the newly opened IconSiam, Klongsan Plaza, and boat piers for Chao Phraya crossing. Overall, we had a great stay with Auntie Mong and her place has become a home away from home in Bangkok.
